wake wedge video with new ballast

[bobbie]

not the most inspired board skills but this shows how nice the push is...had to ride the brake all the time!

What's your ballast setup? Very cool BTW. I'm seriously itching to get into this. Haven't wake boarded yet off our new boat but very intrigued with the surfing.

@Edward We upgraded with custom bags from wakemakers.....about 1100 lbs each side. we added a second pump so we can run each side independently. i had to ditch the one stock pump too....couldn't handle the amount of water in the bag! also...added perfect pass which is so much nicer than a rpm based speed control.

Looks GREAT! As asked above, what's your ballast setup?

@OrangeTJ see above!

Wow.....that's some serious weight. Wave looks wicked good though.

Thanks! Do you fill both sides and surf level or do you list the boat over? I've got an 800 under each seat and could easily stack a 400 (or two buddies) on the surf side. OTOH, I really do all of my surfing behind a buddy's v-drive. Still, though, it would be nice to be able to do it better behind our boat.

@Edward Best part is.....no bags on the seats or in the ski locker....nothing to get in the way.

@OrangeTJ We list the boat...defeats the purpose of the bags when you fill both sides. doesn't take long at all to empty one side while filling the other.

Would be nice to see some video from behind the boat to see the wedge doing its thing. Anybody have any video from rider perspective?

I don't just pictures. I will shoot some gopro footage this weekend.

Do you have the GoPro helmet cam?

Do you have the GoPro helmet cam?

No but I have a surf board mount and I will get a stick.

Cool! Thanks. What was your ballast setup for that wave and how many people were in the boat?

Here is the whole pic , my wife driving , 700 on the seat , and a 1000 under but prob only 850 ish because of restrictions , and 280 under each front seat , if we have people with us i do it differently !!
